FastLook DBMS
Stop Wasting Your Valuable
Time Looking For Drawings
u Organize your drawings quickly and easily
u View, markup and manage from one interface
u Extract data from AutoCAD® drawings into the database
The FastLook DBMS combines with FastLook Plus
to offer one easy-to-use interface for cataloging and
finding drawings and related images. Search the
Database to find the drawing, then view the drawing
automatically or at the touch of a button. Searching
and retrieving records is made simple with powerful
text and index searches. The power of FastLook
Plus is at your fingertips. Use all of FastLook’s
advanced features including view, markup, print,
plot, hyperlinking and access AutoCAD data,
through the FastLook DBMS.
Now you can make it easy for those who need to find
drawings. Keep track of files by part number,
project, author, date or any other attribute YOU
choose. Customize the database to include only the
information that is most important to you and your
organization. Perfect for people who do not have an
intimate knowledge of drawing files. You can
easily and securely grant access to drawings and
related documents for the shop floor, maintenance,
engineering, safety, etc..
The DBMS uses the industry standard Access Jet
Database .MDB file for portability. The DBMS can
be configured to use an existing Microsoft Access
database or create one for you. If you currently have
your data in some other form, the DBMS provides
for import and export from existing databases.
Adding records and information to the database is fast and
flexible. Select which images you wish to be included in
the database and the records are automatically created. You
may even elect to fill in field data from block attributes in
AutoCAD drawings. Manual entry is expedited by the
ability to specify default and lookup values for each field.
A field may be locked to these values to enforce data
integrity. Update a subset or the entire database easily to
assure the latest information is available to those who need
it most.
Users may group drawings and documents based on
selection criteria, i.e. “Project.” The user may find all the
documents needed to complete a specific project.
Assembly drawings, instructions, spreadsheets, photos and
markups may all be grouped together for easy access.
These images can then be viewed and batch printed.
If you utilize AutoCAD drawings with SQL or ADE links
to a dBase file, the DBMS will allow you to access this
information. Simply pick the AutoCAD entity on the
screen and the DBMS will present the corresponding
database record.
The FastLook DBMS will increase the productivity of your
organization. Search, find, view, markup and print all from
one easy-to-use interface. Simple to learn and use.
Anyone who needs to use drawings, documents and images
will benefit from the combination of FastLook Plus and the
FastLook DBMS.
